Through four games, the Grizzlies are shockingly 4-0, and he’s averaging 14.8 points, 10.5 rebounds and 4.8 assists. Those are big time numbers. Now, those four wins are over Utah (twice), Golden State and Sacramento. Those four teams are a combined 2-10 as of Wednesday afternoon. Still, Boozer has had double-digit rebounds in three of those four games. Biggest Riser: Golden State’s Yaxel Lendeborg is making noise both on and off the court. He has already called out Luka Dončić this season, and through four games, he is putting up 21.8 points, 9.3 rebounds and 4.8 assists. Could he be the next star for Golden State? He also twice had a double-double. Over his last two outings, he’s averaging 28.5 points, 10.5 points and 5.5 assists.
